For added protection, place glue board traps completely around each tire. 41fatty 10-04-2021 @ 8:34 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 95 Joined: Jul 2012 dehydrating habanero peppers in my closed garage seems to keep all critters away alexthecarguy 09-05-2021 @ 4:26 PM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 13 Joined: Aug 2021 You may want to read this article online: https://www.cooperpest.com/blog/how-do-i-keep-mice-out-of-my-garage You may consider getting a peppermint spray as well. 37RAGTOPMAN 09-05-2021 @ 1:14 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1962 Joined: Oct 2009 if you USE Mice traps be sure to check them daily,till the population of mice tapers off, there is nothing worse then finding half of a mouse. my 2 cents, 37Ragtopman peanut butter is the best, using rat- mouse poison is tricky, MICE' RATS' CHIPMUNKS' can up between the walls of the house,garage , and DIE and this is NOT GOOD, This message was edited by 37RAGTOPMAN on 9-6-21 @ 10:23 AM TomO 09-04-2021 @ 7:55 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 7256 Joined: Oct 2009 I don't recommend any food source be kept in the garage, even as bait in the traps. The worse year for rodents in my garage was the year the exterminator placed rodent poison in the garage. The rodents came in and used the insulation to make a nice nest in a spare radiator.

Check under the bottom siding board using a mirror to see how the sill plate is along the cement blocks. Cauck any holes that you find. I also place rodent control boxes in the garage. Havent seen any of it eaten in over 6 years.

Plus, the ultimate would be, 1 in the trunk. Use cheese or peanut butter as the food source. Check them once every 2 weeks.

If you store it inside, make sure that there are NO openings larger than you baby's little finger, have a few open bottles of ammonia around the car, make sure that the floor is cleaned of all grass, leaves and other vegetation and leave a radio playing heavy metal rock turned on. All of these are a deterrent, but non of them are guarantee. Tom
